Tiles unveiled for DUI victims
A tile for Bert Wayne Erickson will be unveiled at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Snohomish County DUI Victims Memorial Wall, 600 128th St. SE, Everett.
Members of the Snohomish County DUI Task Force will unveil tiles for four DUI victims, including Paul Andreeff, Edwina Eastman and Dick Withee.
The first unveiling of 45 tiles on the DUI Victims Memorial Wall took place on July 19, 2001. The wall includes 112 county DUI victim names.
Erickson died Aug. 24, 1964, just weeks after graduating from Everett High School.
His brother, Frank Erickson, said Bert Erickson and three others were driving home from a dance, on Highway 99 near Smokey Point, when a car driven by a drunk man hit them going an estimated 90 mph.
